Really? These white farmers? And here i was thinking Zimbabwe was colonised long before their time! You can't blame them for being born into the situation. So, do you think native americans have the right to just walk into your house, rape your wife, your children, while forcing you to watch until finally killing them and then you?
Hey, payback's a bitch, right?
You people know nothing of the situation in Zimbabwe. You know nothing of Mugabe's youth army, where he takes ignorant and uneducated children to camps and trains them to be in an unofficial militia that brutalises white people and opponents of his regieme.
You obviously haven't heard the numerous times he's publically told his people that the white man is their enemy.
He's in favour of rapid land redistribution (read: arm a bunch of uneducated sheepish black folk with whatever weapons are handy and point them in the direction of the nearest white owned farm). Oh, did i mention the law he passed last year or the year before banning white farmers from harvesting their crops? This is while 50% of the country is already suffering from starvation, by the way.
So they solve the problem by shutting down white farms or taking them over and running them into the ground because of course they don't use the existing employees (which are most likely black people... no.. you can't use them, they're traitors for working for the white man), instead, they use untrained and unqualified black people who know nothing of farming and then they blame the white man when the crop fails.
Don't try vote him out either. This is no democratic nation. Mugabe's party has such a weak presence in the two major cities of Zimbabwe. Why? Because his intimidation tactics don't work there. But out in rural Zimbabwe, his thugs are remarkably effective. They'll drive into your little village and pick a man at random. They'll break his legs right there in front of you and let you know that in the interest of your health and the health of your neighbours, you should vote for Robert Mugabe.
The man is insane. He only came to power through brutality, and he's only stayed in power through brutality. Yes, it's fucked up what has happened in Africa over the last few hundred years, but it's not the fault of the current white generation, and doing what mugabe is doing solves nothing. He has made things worse for both white people nad his own people.
50% of Zimbabwe is HIV positive. 50% of Zimbabwe is starving. I'm sorry, but facts are facts, these issues were not even issues in Rhodesia. I'm not suggesting we go back to white rule or anything, but jesus christ, pick the right black man for the job.
